LG - 34GX90SA-W

As a GX9 user, I love the extra height. I use it for photo editing and doing some video editing on resolve. It’s really good, the space helps a lot.

I just bought the LG OLED 5K2K 45” ultrawide. I think there’s a 34” version? My last LG 34” 1440p ultrawide was great too. My last 4 monitors have been LG and they’ve been great.

Almost all of them? Not many ultrawide monitors are smart TVs. Even my cutting edge LG GX9 OLED has no smart system, no internet connection, no apps, etc. Same with Samsungs ultrawide and Alienware ultrawides. And most others. Are you running into this issue a lot?

I went with a 34 1440p over the 32 4k. I had this exact dilemma and got the 32 4k first 240hz. My graphic card was 4090 and it looked great but fps was under 100 all the time. Switched to the 1440p 34 240hz and absolute love the switch. I get like 160hz+ and it’s so smooth and beautiful when playing cod and Diablo

I have a oled 34' uw from LG and I like it a lot! I tried 32' 4k ips on a Lan party side by side and liked the uw format a lot more. But I recommend to test both yourself as it seems to be quite the personal choice

Using LG 34" UWQHD at 3440x1440 (Default) 85 Hz on M1 Mac Mini. HDR off. Great picture at a usable size. Chipset Model: Apple M1   Type: GPU   Bus: Built-In   Total Number of Cores: 8   Vendor: Apple (0x106b)   Metal Support: Metal 3   Displays: LG HDR WQHD:   Resolution: 3440 x 1440 (UWQHD - Ultra-Wide Quad HD)   UI Looks like: 3440 x 1440 @ 85.00Hz   Main Display: Yes   Mirror: Off   Online: Yes   Rotation: Supported

I did just switch to a USB C to Display Port and am now at 100 Hz. Small improvement.

I went from a 34" curved LG ultrawide to a 55" TV. I like the TV way better, but I think a 49" ultrawide monitor would work even better because then my 24" DDU that I have above my TV would be lower and could be more easily seen. Of course a 57" ultrawide monitor would be even better. Lol.

I own the UW1440p and it's an excellent monitor for gaming. I also play FPS shooters and have essentially the same computer (5070Ti instead of 9070XT), and it's a perfect monitor for that. Having said that, since you can find both for similar prices, I'd probably go with the 5k2k. You guys can always pop in a 5090 or whatever is king down the road, and AM5 will be supported for years.

I'm not OP, but I use mine exclusively for gaming. Perfect balance of performance and quality for the games I play. And yeah, I would not use it for work or text heavy stuff. My Dell 5k2k sits next to it for that stuff 😅

I'm gonna go test Warzone now and see. I can max out my UWQHD LG 240hz on ultra settings with my 5090. I'm guessing it could get close or over 200 with more average settings. Having said that, 165hz is more than fine.

Also a coder here who recently purchased the GX9. I came from 27 + 34 IPS monitors (both @ 1440P) and while the GX9 indeed blows IPS monitors out of water when it comes to vibrancy and gaming immersion, text clarity is just lacking - my eyes feel so strained looking at fuzzy texts, which never happened with the IPS panels. If you are sensitive like me, you would have to go for the 40U990A, which based on the Dell U4025QW (same panel) would be nowhere near as good in both colors and motion handling (the Dell one is really slow per Rtings). I'm also about to place an order for the 40U990A and return the GX9 after evaluating both side-by-side.

I would love to see this in a slightly smaller size. I have the ultra gear OLED 800r curved in a 34” and I think it’s perfect.
